You figure out your age!

I see a trailer in my future. I used to ride everywhere and 1400 mile weekends were very commonplace. I am starting to think maybe it would be better to trailer the bike and just ride there. Boasting about what I can do and have does is not what it used to be. Stories about toughing it out thru hail storms and my 400 mile trek on I-40 through a tropical depression by myself does not seem as important as just having fun.

Remember--- "When the fun ain't really fun, then it ain't fun anymore"---or something like that.

I'm 72 and 250 is a nice day for me as long as i stop every hour. Still using the original seat, maybe that should change. I try to ride a little each day with my wife and dog if the weather permits, even if only 50 miles for ice cream.

Like I said before, Any day on two wheels is a day well spent whether it be a long day or a short one. Even when I have overdone it and am tired and beat up from sun and wind I would rather be there than in a cage going down the road. 4 wheels moves the body and 2 wheels move the soul!

At 46 I may be one of the young ones here. I feel even younger while riding!

See y'all in Franklin!

I'm 67 and in June did a 4000 mile ride to the Badlands from south Texas. It sure ain't like it used to be. I averaged about 325 miles a day and that is about all I can handle these days. My weakness is my knees/legs, if it wasn't for highway pegs I don't think I could do 100 mile rides. The good news is, being retired time is not a factor like it used to be in my working days when I had to be back at a specific date......and weather is not a factor, if its not to my liking I will just spend another night in the motel and wait for blue skies. Amazing how quickly things change, just 5 years ago I did a ride to Alaska and most days were 500-700 miles. Oh well, considering I've been on 2 wheels since the early '60's its all good!

Ryder , if you decide you need a trailer , PM me. I can definitely help you out. I trailer mine all the time. My Son lives in Cincy , 420 miles. I can't ride there , ride 300 miles next day AMD then ride home next day. Well I can but I don't want to.

Thanks Shooter! I have a lot of things up in the air at the moment and my future has a lot of options. I may be moving south to enjoy the Florida riding weather and condo living or I may be staying where I am in my "paid for" house where I have room to store a trailer. I am holding off because I may not have room to store it should I move south. Decisions, decisions..........
